Didn't think it was going to happen Saturday or not. Went to hook house up in the yard to start it and my muffs were missing. So trip to Walmart. Got water turned on and battery was dead. The trickle charger I had hooked  up had come unplugged so didn't charge. So pulled out battery charger and it had a short....*sigh* but it worked enough it started so it could charge up. Couple more things went wrong but I finally went to provo state park around 5:45 and got in water about 6. Iran circles around the marina keeping it about 1800-2000 rpm as advised for my break in period for new bearings. I ended up running out for about 1.25 hours I believe.  No oil leaked out which means the seals are working which sidelined the boat to start with. Runny thing is this was my first time being on the water at night and the first time I put the boat on trailer someone else has every time. I bought steps that mount on the trailer and has 3 steps that are on the starboard side with a long handle to help get in and out of the bow. They are very nice and handy

Sorry it took so long! I hope you have many trouble free hours out ther now. I thought the steps worked well!

If you do a search for "steps for boat trailer" on Amazon it pulls it up or should or here is a link https://www.amazon.com/Quality-Mark-2880...221&sr=8-2

 I've been looking for a set of front steps for my boat trailer. I need the 4-step, port side, fold-away mount which, unfortunately, is NOT offered by Amazon.   I am waiting for a reply from Quality Mark (voice/email) to discuss whether or not their product will work on my trailer.  It will likely cost $400 plus, if it will work on my trailer.

Thanks.  I didn't see the 4 boxes showing all 4 models before.  Amazon carrys all of them.  However, I'll probabably still have to deal with Quality Mark for the swing-away adapter.  I still haven't heard back from them.

Yep - saw that in the video on their website.  And they called me back about 20 minutes ago.  We had a good discussion and I may be in business with a ladder up front shortly.  He is checking a few measurements on the adapter and will call me back on what he finds.  It's also possible that I might be able to use the standard bracket ahead of the joint on my fold-away and place it directly across from my Fulton jack stand.
